For those few that are playing piano, the notes go like this:
 Play       B    B   F#    G    G    G    G  G  
all at:     D    D    A    B    B    B    B  B  
 once       B    B   F#    G    G    G    G  G  
On guitar (most of us)
Make a "G" chord, but only with your Index and Middle fingers, slide up to the 9th fret,
and then slide up one more to the 10th fret, moving your Picky finger down just one more
to the 12th fret. Once you get that, add your ring finger as if you were playing in the
key of E and keep it always two down from your index. 
The pattern goes like this, strum 2x 1x 5x, and you'll get the hang of it.
      Better     be      gooooone,       it's  half  past  eleven  now
